Hot Roast Beef Sandwich with melted Swiss cheese on toasted ciabatta, served with fries, at The House on Queen’s (HQ) in downtown London, Ontario

About Our Hot Roast Beef Sandwich

The roast is the whole dish. We cook the beef gently until it is tender enough to shave into thin, ribboned slices that stay juicy under heat, then build the sandwich hot so the Swiss melts down into the beef rather than sitting on top of it. Ciabatta is toasted for structure — it holds the juices without going soft.

Garlic aioli, lettuce and vine-ripened tomato keep it from being heavy, and crispy golden fries come on the side as standard. It is a familiar Canadian comfort-food sandwich, executed with the kind of ingredients and technique you expect from a downtown kitchen and bar rather than a deli counter.
